Long gamma-ray bursts (LGRBs) are the most violent explosions in the Universe after the Big Bang, occurring during the collapse of a massive star that leaves behind a newly formed compact object and launches powerful relativistic jets. At more than 55 years from their discovery, the mechanism responsible for the electromagnetic emission of LGRBs remains unclear, just as the nature of the accreting compact object that powers them up. The huge scale separation between different processes (the gravitational collapse and the onset of the supernova, the propagation of the jet through the star, and the production of high-energy emission from the jet at large distances) usually forces theoretical…
